Canadian Police Arrests Eight Schoolgirls for Bullying
This article was actually reported last month, but I just came acrossed it today.
TORONTO (Reuters) - Eight teenage girls have been charged with criminal harassment for bullying at a high school in Ontario, the latest of a string of high-profile and tragic bullying incidents in Canada.
Police in the city of London said the girls were arrested after an investigation into physical, emotional and online bullying of another girl at the school.
They were charged and released on a promise to appear in court. They have also been suspended from school.
"Bullying will not be tolerated in our community. The behavior exhibited by these students is reprehensible and will be appropriately dealt with by the criminal justice system," London Police Service said in a statement.
This is good. This is how bullying should be dealt with.
